Disco musical Mam I’m ‘Ere is heading back to the Liverpool stage with its original cast.

Almost 10,000 people saw the show when it was staged at The Dome in Renshaw Street at Christmas 2012.

Now it is set to play the Royal Court in a five week run this summer, in a co-production between the Roe Street theatre and Life in Theatre Productions (The Sunshine Boys, A Life in the Theatre, The Last 5 Years).

Stephen said today: “It’s unapologetic fun, complete with 70s disco music. And the show is for everyone – from six to 106. It’s happy, bright and colourful.

“We’ve been talking about bringing it back ever since it was first staged. A lot of people enjoyed it the last time round, and we wanted to take it up to the next level. But it’s been a long time coming.

“We did everything ourselves last time – Helen Carter would be up until 4am creating a giant glitterball to hang above the audience. It was really old school in a way, a merry band of players.”

Mam I’m ‘Ere, which has had the blessing of the producers of Mamma Mia!, tells the story of Sally, who is left on her dad’s doorstep one cold and windy Liverpool night.

Fast forward 25 years and she is due to get married, but one person is missing – her mum. After teasing out stories from her father’s friends, she narrows down her search to three very different women, and invites them to a glamorous mini-break – on the family’s Welsh campsite.

New cast members include sisters Hayley and Jamie Hampson, who play the Disco Divas, in what is their first time on stage together, along with a quartet of dancers from the city’s Rare Studios, who are making their professional stage debut in the musical.

The set is being designed by Mark Walters, who most recently appeared as part of the winning team on The Great Interior Design Challenge on BBC2, and the show is being choreographed by Rare’s co-founding principal, Lindsay Inglesby.

Simeon Scheuber, the show’s original musical director, makes his Royal Court debut, and will be joined by house band members Alex Smith, Emily Linden and newcomer on drums, Laura Williams.

Mam I’m ‘Ere runs from June 26 to August 1. Tickets are priced from £13. Book HERE.
